Get Your Last Glimpse of the Early American Furniture Exhibit at Historic Deerfield

Making the decision to commission the right craftsman to create a custom piece of furniture is just as important as finding inspiration for the perfect piece, which is why I always recommend that my clients take their time to conduct research on both sides of the equation.

For those that are passionate about early American furniture, it’s a good idea to check out some of the featured museum exhibits in the area. One event that I would like to mention is the Into the Woods: Crafting Early American Furniture exhibit that takes place through December 31, 2014 at the Flynt Center for Early New England Life. Some of the greatest furniture craftsmen of this time period have pieces featured at this exhibit, including works by Duncan Phyfe, Samuel McIntire, and John Townsend. By attending this event, you will be able to gain a better understanding of the highest levels of design in the 18th and 19th centuries, and how those might be adapted to our current lifestyles.

As a member of the New Hampshire Furniture Masters Association, I am passionate about quality craftsmanship and have the utmost respect for those fine furniture makers who prospered in the early years of our country and who set the design standards for  American furniture design. The members of our organization strive to expand on that design leadership and have our own gallery in Concord, New Hampshire that is open year-round for patrons to browse through.  And you will see that many of our pieces have been influenced by these early makers

To learn more about how you can commission your own piece of fine furniture, please contact me directly. I also invite you to view my online gallery or browse through my design blog to learn about more featured museum exhibits in the area that I recommend.
